Rainy Day Getaway Giveaway

Okay, it ain't the getaway you have in mind. Maybe it shouldn't be called a getaway at all.

But hey, we're talking about the Philippines' rainy season here. And like me, perhaps you're not game for the outdoors because you'd rather surf the channels on cable and 'swim in a deep sea of blankets'. If there's one trip you gotta take, it's a trip to the grocery store because you're running low on instant champorado and tuyo.

1) The Philippines: Islands Of Enchantment book, 2) Pink Manila overnight stay in a private room for two.

So the two prizes for this giveaway are all about the great indoors:

One (1) winner of *The Philippines: Islands Of Enchantment coffee table book. Text by Alfred A. Yuson and snapshots by George Tapan. Curl up with this book and plot your next adventure!

Had the rare opportunity of traveling with multi-awarded photographer George Tapan in Mindanao last July, as part of the Allah Valley Tour organized by AVLDA - LGSP LED. Wish I had this autographed but even George himself said, "Na-excess baggage ako sa mabibigat kong libro!". Isn't he adorable?!

Talented, humble and charming. Not me. Sir George Tapan is.

One (1) winner of an *overnight stay for two in a private room at Pink Manila Hostel. The closest you could get to the vibrant Khao San Road or Pub Street atmosphere without the turbulent rainy day plane ride. Maybe it ain't a 5-star accommodation, and maybe the only stars you'll see are the ones spinning above your head when you've had too many bottles of beer, but you are still guaranteed a stellar experience. Just remember to let your guard down.

*Winner must book a week in advance. Prize is transferrable. Read review here.
